Pahuna - The Little Visitors directed by Paakhi A Tyrewala has received a standing ovation at Toronto International Film Festival 2017. The film is produced by Priyanka Chopra's home productions Purple Pebble Pictures.

Speaking about the film, Priyanka told IANS, "This (north-east) is a part of India which does not get seen too much, does not get too many people coming and visiting. But it is a little piece of heaven.. the stories, these kids and the perspectives that you saw when it comes to conversions, when it comes to religion, when it comes to kids being replaced and not knowing their parents and where they are going...it is such a special and important story and I think Paaki told it very well.

Touted to be India's first film in Sikkimese language, Pahuna opens with insurgent violence forcing people in a Nepalese village to flee to Sikkim. It's the story of three children facing extraordinary circumstances. Pahuna marks the first feature film of Paakhi after her short film Kajaal.

On the work front, Priyanka Chopra is gearing up for the release of her Hollywood projects, A Kid Like Jake and Isn't It Romantic?
